We don’t generally turn somersaults over remixes here, but this one involves a collision of two of our favorite bands, Local Natives (new album “Hummingbird” coming Jan. 29) and Superhumanoids, who will be touring with the Natives in March and April. Cameron Parkins and gang have taken Local Natives’ single “Breakers” and plopped it on […]
Heaping helping of good things tonight: ‣ Milo Greene, you’ve grown up so fast. The L.A. quintet who released their debut album in July headline the El Rey Theatre tonight, supported by Toronto’s Bahamas. ‣ Grouplove [pictured], its tour engine back up and running after having to scotch some tour dates because Christian Zucconi had […]
Local Natives returned to their roots – and flaunted some new foliage – on Tuesday night at the Satellite, playing a surprise show that seemed like old-home-week to those who remembered the quintet’s August 2009 residency at the club-then-known-as-Spaceland. In that heady year, the fivesome formerly called Cavil at Rest – armed with an album […]
UPDATED at 10 a.m. It’s been a while since we’ve had one of those surprise shows, but Local Natives are springing one on Silver Lake tonight, playing a show at the Satellite, with Superhumanoids opening. Local Natives last week announced that their second album “Hummingbird” would be out Jan. 29. Tickets ($12) just went on […]
Hey, it’s Monday: ‣ Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers visit the Troubadour behind their 2011 album “Driftwood,” and although as a rule we don’t post live videos here, we thought their cover of Hall & Oates’ “I Can Go for That,” recorded in their tour van, was pretty nifty. ‣ Kaki King headlines the El […]

[…]
Show stuff for your Monday: ‣ The Raveonettes headline the El Rey Theatre beind their new album “Observator”, supported by Melody’s Echo Chamber and E13. That’s Imogen Prado’s gorgeous video for the Raveonettes’ “The Enemy,” above. ‣Â New Orleans sextet Royal Teeth come off their strong Culture Collide performances to pay a visit to It’s […]
First up, for October (or, where did my September go, I seem to have misplaced it?): ‣ A year ago last week, the Lumineers did a date at the Hotel Cafe. Twelve months and a load of album sales later, the Denver-based folkies are doing a two-night stand at the Fonda Theatre, with both shows […]
Bloomfest, the annual one-day arts, music, crafts and food event in the downtown Los Angeles arts district, not only got bigger and better this year, it seemed to grow even more eclectic.
